Maya: Using Curve Warp to Rig a Cord

Curve Warp: Why is it only in the Modeling menu when it's so useful??? Check out this unusual mishmash of curves, joints, and deformers.

This was immensely helpful I was getting very worried about animating vines for my senior thesis film but I think you've just saved the day Thanks so much for this!

Hey Ross, this is cool but can those separate joints to be use properly in the game engine? Thank you🙂

hi ross thx for the tutorial, but do you know why my curve deform make the mesh become flat?

You'll need to Freeze Transformations under the Modify menu before using the Cluster Warp. I know I am a year late, but it might help the next person :)

thank god

It's under the modeling menu because it's not useful for rigging, the performance is too low unfortunately. It has great in-built features though.

Thanks! Ross is da boss because I was beggin' for Mr. Reagan! ahh? ahhh???

YOu did not have to create joints... instead use CLUSTERS .. parent each cluster to a curve point & then create your control rings.. (nurbs circle)
